Sacked Fiji TV executives go after Khaiyum and Board members

(Video courtesy of Republika)

One of the two former Fiji TV executives dismissed after the rugby sevens broadcasting controversy has called on the Fiji Law Society to strip Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum of his practising certificate for unethical behaviour.

CEO Tevita Gonelevu and head of content and local productions, Tanya Waqanika, told a press conference today the real story behind their unlawful sackings.

"You cannot be the Minister of Communications and make decisions which are favourable to FBC knowing fully well that what you've done is unethical and unlawful to favour FBC which is headed by your brother," said Waqanika.

"That's just not right, you should step down. Because the Attorney General has spoken about the need to be transparent, about good governance - this is the man who has been preaching about it and he can't even follow his own words.

"A very unethical person, shame on him for being a lawyer," said Waqanika.

"The Fiji Law Society and the Legal Services Commission should actually take action on him and remove his practising certificate."

Waqanika and Gonelevu also called for an inquiry into the conduct of two board members, Nouzab Fareed and Ioane Naiveli, who they say acted against the station's interests over local coverage of the World Rugby Sevens Series.

The former executives cited email, text and telephone messages which they say showed outside interference with the operations of Fiji TV, especially by Khaiyum.

Both also challenged their dismissal saying Gonelevu's sacking had not been discussed by the whole board and Waqanika's firing was illegal because only the CEO could sack her. Gonelevu and Waqanika also hinted there could be other developments that could deprive viewers of coverage.

They told media that a sub-licensing agreement which allowed FBC TV to carry the last Sevens series in December was in favour of FBC TV, which a government survey suggests commands 54% of total Fiji viewership.

They said the fee paid by FBC TV did not reflect its claimed viewership as agreed to under the sub-licensing agreement.

Looks like the country is overdue for so many Commission of Inquiries;1. Fiji TV World Rugby Coverage2. Fiji TV Senior Officials sacking3. FNU VC sacking4. Ministry of Education Acting PS sacking5. Minister of Education restructure and reforms6. Former Minister for Health's handling of contracts7. FNU Appointments8. FNU acquisition of institutions to be Colleges of the institution.9. Overexpennditures of Government Ministries and Departments from 2007-2014.10. Payments of Ministers salaries through a private accounting firm, 2010-2013.11. PM's 30 years leave allowance payment ( and refund ) and FNPF contributions.12. Government' s FNPF loans13. The Waqavuka Investments - owner of Fiji Airways airbuses.14. The Nawailevu Bauxite Mining Venture, in Bua15. The Sugar Industry's declining production

These are a few of the many areas where the country needs some clear answers.

Where is the normally outspoken MIDA chairperson, Arsewind Raj chutiya in all this? Suddenly gone as quite as a mouse. The same way AG controls Fiji TV, he controls MIDA. Arsewind is the AG's yelping chiuwawa.

Update: 6:35PM THE Fiji Police Force recorded the alleged rape of two children in the country within the past week.

Police said a 35-year old man appeared in the Ba Magistrates Court yesterday for allegedly raping a 13-year old twice. In another incident, a seven-year old girl was allegedly raped by a 15-year old in Nadi on January 4. Chief of Investigations and Intelligence, Assistant Commissioner of Police Henry Brown said the suspect has been interviewed in the presence of Social Welfare officers and released. ACP Brown said the file will be sent to the Juvenile Bureau for sanction. He pleaded with parents and guardians to prioritise their children and their safety in all aspects of their family and social life.

only the AG can take away his own practising certificate Tanya...he made sure that the fiji law society is a toothless tiger...the society , like the GCC has no role in the governance of fijians...so much for the equal rights and equal citizenry crap...

Oh, SURE you work for Fiji TV! You can't even write a complete sentence fragment, much less a sentence. Every time someone speaks out against a regime injustice, along comes an anonymous blogger claiming to be giving us the "real inside dirt" smearing the whistleblowers. Either you're a regime troll pretending to be a Fiji TV employee, or you're a low-level employee (e.g., janitor) who has ulterior motives for serving as pissant tool of the regime.

I have been accused of various names in here so you can either continue to resort to pathetic name calling or you can actually contribute to the debate.

And mate calling Bainimarama's wife a whore is really low. How would you feel if people refers to your mum as such? Your mannerism is on the same wavelength as Kua Ni ReRe whom resorted to name calling is well in regards to the late CJ Patel boss.

So attacking the mothers, wives and the dead is now the SODELPA supporters way. Wow just when I thought you lot won't stoop lower you went ahead proved me wrong.

Vili Rakoro forgot to mention that Tanya Waqanika won her case. SCC took her to court & then ended up paying her $4,000.00 in damages & the High Court found that she was not in breach of her duties & exercised her duties diligently. The ruling was delivered this year & is on public record. Go to paclii website & check : SCC vs Tanya Waqanika.

We at SCC will not forget her - she had one of the biggest farewells at the Civic Auditorium. Always helping everybody, even till today. She resigned to join Fiji TV and was giving an outstanding reference from the Council.

The stupidity of people like Vili never ceases to amaze me. Why is it that anyone who dares to question or criticise this government is branded a SODELPA supporter?

Isn't Bainimarama the one guilty of using vulgar language? He swore at Qarase and others when he was taking over government. Who can forget the words he dished out to a priest? Who kicked and stomped on defenseless women?

She won her case due to lack of evidences from SCC. Eventhough her superiors at SCC wasn't happy with her blatant disregard of authority. As we all know, in court it's what you prove not assume. And this time around Tanya has to prove ASK influenced the decision.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing personal against Tanya and I think she is a good lawyer. The only consistent problem she has is disregarding her superiors orders. It's precisely that which led to her disagreement with her SCC superiors.

And she did it again with her Fiji TV superiors. No one is questioning her professional ability as such, it's her ability to follow her superiors orders that is her weakness.

You see the problem is that majority of you post anonymously and along the same line. It's pretty challenging to differentiate. Therefore branding you a SODELPA supporter is far safer than assuming you're NFP or Fiji First.

I was the one who first recognised the uncanny resemblance between Vili Rakoro and the ruptured, shit-spewing sewerage pipe. I don't regret nicknaming the pipe the "Vili Rakoro", because it was so apt. But calling him "Meli Bainimarama"? Gee, how heartless can you be!

Vili, maybe if the regime allowed real press freedoms and stopped using its security forces to beat up dissenters, then more of us would stop posting anonymously or using moronic, fictitious names like yours. Ever consider that?

It makes no sense that SCC took Tanya to court and then lose due to lack of evidence? They were suing her, surely they would have had all their evidence ready. God has always favored this woman and he defends and fights for her and for anyone to challenge her- they are challenging her God.

Reading through the social media pages, very clear that the 2 senior board members acted against the board resolution and against Fiji TV and its shareholders. Tevita and Tanya acted in the interest of Fiji TV and the shareholders.

"We at SCC will not forget her - she had one of the biggest farewells at the Civic Auditorium. Always helping everybody, even till today. She resigned to join Fiji TV and was giving an outstanding reference from the Council."

So there! Vili Rakoro..this is the Tanya that won her case and loved by her fellow workers. And listen to this - SHE HAD ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAREWELLS AT THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM...and given AN OUTSTANDING REFERENCE BY THE COUNCIL!!"

Doesnt that say much about the gracious lady huh??

Admit it Vili - you do have a dislike or grudge against Tanya but sore losers are always feeling that way. When intelligent beautiful characters move on in life because they stand out, for brilliance, for good, the opposite side of good and those on par just cant stand it aye?? LOL

Sorry to hurt your feelings Vili...you need to meet up with Tanya and take a lesson or two on what INTEGRITY AND LOYALTY means and DOING THE RIGHT THING huh?

"You cannot be the Minister of Communications and make decisions which are favourable to FBC knowing fully well that what you've done is unethical and unlawful to favour FBC which is headed by your brother. That's just not right, you should step down. Because the Attorney General has spoken about the need to be transparent, about good governance - this is the man who has been preaching about it and he can't even follow his own words. A very unethical person, shame on him for being a lawyer. The Fiji Law Society and the Legal Services Commission should actually take action on him and remove his practising certificate." Tanya Waqanika

Vinaka Vili and Tanya for telling the TRUTH because the TRUTH will always prevail no matter what the evil doers will try to suppress it...God is watching the mother of ALL liars in Fiji - Aiyaz Kaiyub...his days are numbered it will come soon or later!..."isa o Viti"....

DISMISSED Fiji TV executives Tevita Gonelevu and Tanya Waqanika are calling for a commission of inquiry into the conduct of Fiji TV chair Ioane Naiveli, FHL CEO Nouzab Fareed and/or the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Finance, Public Enterprises and Public Service Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Mr Gonelevu and Ms Waqanika have levelled serious allegations of misconduct and interference at the trio, saying their dismissal had to do with the saga surrounding the sharing of the sevens series live feed and Fiji TV's refusal to compromise its exclusive agreement with World Rugby.

And the pair said they would consider legal action on their dismissal but would not rush the process.

In a press conference yesterday, Mr Gonelevu alleged the interference in Fiji TV matters extended to the point where Ministry of Justice officials drafted letters voicing Fiji TV's support for sharing the sevens feed and FORCED FIJI TV EXECUTIVES TO UBDERSIGN.

"We were basically told to sign that letter or our licence will be affected or also we could face prosecution under the television Cross Carriage of Events Decree," Mr Gonelevu said. n Continued on PAGE 6

Anon,Is Luisa Waqanika Tanya mother? Remember she stood as a candidate for FFP. So the family is a FFP supporter - just like mine. Time to reconsider and re-aline political affiliation - due to our masters' integrity - or the lack of it.

To Anon @ 8:31pm, surely you cannot generalize a statement given that Luisa stood for FFP, the entire family supported her. Did you know what each family voted for when they ticket the ballot box? Tanya has a mind of her own & she or her mother including the rest of the family's members political preference is their Freedom of Choice. The presence of Tevita & Tanya's mothers in their press conference was to be support them as their mothers & not political affiliates to any party.

Tanya was accused of giving advice without being given the authority by her SCC bosses. It is pretty hard to prove that and she knew exactly that. Obviously she denied it in court and also knew if even there were any recordings to prove it, those recordings couldn't be used in court because it's entrapment.

Funnily enough it's alomost similar to what Tanya is now accusing ASK for. Kama is bitch.

That's pure shit mate. You have believed rumours and gossips about the government somehow taking those against it to task. Those allegations have never been proven.

I understand however that you're just a weak pathetic troll who simply don't have the strength of your convictions. How can you expect people to believe what you are saying or follow you if they see how weak and scared you are.

Hey I have already said before Tanya is a good lawyer I have nothing against her. Her professional ability has never been in doubt I believe. It's her respect for the chain of command that is her weakness.

On a personal level I believe that what she did whilst with SCC and the Fiji TV was done with the best of intentions but just weak executions. If she learns to work with her superiors rather then against then she would be a great asset.

We all have bosses and sometimes even when we disagree or don't feel like it we still have to follow what they say because when we chose to work for them that is what we agreed we'll do. When you consistently choose to do otherwise then it puts into question your integrity and that affects the trust vested in you.

Your boss has to rely on you and count on you to carry out your required duties. If your bosses are worried you might not follow what they ask you then regardless of how good at your job you may be, if you're untrustworthy then your position becomes untenable.

As a good lawyer she probably needs to open her own firm and be her own boss. That's probably the best thing for her because following authority is clearly her weakness.

Nice input into the debate. Very indepth and grown up. You've really shown how mature you are. Keep up the good work. Maybe SODELPA can offer you a job to join them in parliament so you can show Fiji how concrete and amazing you are at debating the points of the topics ey.

Respect for the chain of command is also my weakness. I have none, not when it comes to the pack of traitors running our government, elected or no. And I don't believe the election results anyway, since the same traitors who stole our government were left in charge of organising the elections.

Vili Rakoro lectures us about how we need to follow our chain of command, perform our required duties, etc., lest we be untrustworthy. He says that for this reason Tanya's job became untenable.

Didn't Vili's hero Bainimarama buck his chain of command by disregarding the civilian constitutional authority over the military and overthrowing Fiji's democratically elected government? Following Vili's reasoning, shouldn't HIS job be untenable? Why does Vili "vili"-fy Tanya but support someone as untrustworthy as Bainimarama?

Happy New Year lewa, hope you had a blast. Look you gotta let it go lewa, it's 2015 and holding that grudge ain't doing you any good.

If Tanya was disobeying her superiors authority because it was an illegal order then fairenough she is within her rights. Problem though the order was legal. Regardless of her personal feelings and assumptions at the end of the day the board had the legal authority to sack someone who directly interfered with their authority and their business assets.

She probably could have a case against ASK interfering but as far as the board are concerned their decision was legal based on solid facts therefore whether Tanya wins or loose her case it doesn't make any difference.

I thought it was bad enough that Tanya was scapegoated at a board meeting where only two board members were present and on the basis of a false promise from Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, and even using a letter his staff had dictated to the board. But now you, too, speak for the board at Fiji TV?

I'm glad you don't care whether Tanya wins her wrongful termination case, because I'd hate to see you disappointed. When even a rabid regime supporter thinks Tanya has a case against the attorney general for intereference, then it is probably a strong case, indeed.

Lewa nodaru Vanua vata. Look I couldn't care less what Tanya has against ASK or vice versa. What I do care about is the fact she hasn't learnt her lesson. It doesn't matter how many board members were present to give Tanya her termination letter, what matters though is that it was a unified decision. Those two board members represented the whole board.

There was no wrongful termination. She is trying to build a case based on outside interference. Her decision to go behind the board and contacted world rugby whilst negotiations were undergoing was a breach of her contract. It was beyond her responsibilities and authority.

All she had to do to prevent this was to ask the board if she could contact world rugby to clarify their position and possible update of their current contract based on the updated media laws. I don't see why the board wouldn't agree on that and most importantly it covers Tanya's nosy ass. But as with Tanya she went ahead anyway without the boards knowledge.

And I have always maintained that world rugby is wrong in demanding they be consulted in any update on our laws. They haven't and wouldn't do that on countries like UK, US, Australia etc. Imagine world rugby demanding Obama to consult them on any changes to the U.S. laws. He'll rightly tell world rugby to go fuck themselves but that is a discussion for another time.

In the meantime I believe Tanya is grasping at thin air here. She is claiming outside interference from ASK. It would be interesting to see how this plays out. Because as minister of information I am not entirely sure ASK can be classified as outside interference. His ministry are technically the boss of Fijian Holdings therefore indirectly based on chain of command as such he has some sort of role within the parameters of this particular ministry and organisations as a whole.

So before Tanya actually contest the outside interference she first has to prove that there is actually an outside per say.

As I have mentioned her professional ability has never been in any doubt and more to that I believe she would have been the best person to negotiate a deal with World Rugby. But if I was her boss I would have to balance that with the knowledge that she is untrustworthy and as she has proven her action can seriously damage the business reputation. So it's a battle of risk as to how much I would be willing to sacrifice.

And having the whole country loose out on watching our sevens gladiators play on the Sevens Series may be a price too far to be worth the risk.

Someone has already posted the findings on the regime's deplorable human rights record from Amnesty International, the U.S. Department of State, and Human Rights Watch.

But wait a minute. Who is more authoritative on the human rights situation in Fiji — "Vili Rakoro," aka Meli Bainimarama, the son of Fiji's dictator, or Amnesty International, the U.S. Department of State, and Human Rights Watch? True, they ARE the human rights experts. But he is closer to the source.

Yes human rights violations can only be proven in court. And Bainimarama is not guilty until proven otherwise in Fijis court end of.

QARASE in his tenure didn't follow through with the investigation on human rights violations carried out in the 2000 coups especially those Fiji Indians who were abused physically, verbally and emotionally.

He wasn't prosecuted in Fiji courts and he was actually found guilty of corruption on Fiji court so between him and Bainimarama it's safe to assume Qarase is the worse one.

Just to clear some inaccurate statements made by Vili : 1) Board members act within " a board resolution". For a board resolution to be legal - you need a quorum. The presence of 2 board members & the statement made by Gonelevu in their press conference on Wed, 7th, Dec - there was no board resolution & no certified minutes of the board resolution to confirm the unlawful & unfair dismissal issued by Naiveli & Fareed. So your argument that the board had approved FAILS!. (2) Gonelevu & Waqanika confirmed as well that the sub licence agreement that Fareed & Naiveli signed with FBC was less favourable to Fiji TV & its shareholders & also the board had not approved of this signed agreement. In fact, Gonelevu stated that the agreement that the board had approved was a totally different one that was signed with FBC. Fareed went to another law firm to prepare this unfavorable agreement against the interest of Fiji TV. So again, your point that Waqanika or Gonelevu went against the board resolution FAILS!. (3) I read her case that SCC took against her - it was a civil case & not a criminal case so it is not a corruption case as you have mentioned. Encourage everyone to read it. Given what I was told, the 2 SCC witnesses testified again on her behalf & confirmed that what she was doing was within her legal boundaries. For you to say that SCC lost due to lack of evidence, despite them suing her in the first place (surely, they had evidence before they decided to take the matter to court & the trial took place 6 years after SCC first filed action) is totally ludicrous. You do not prepare for war for 6 years & then go to the battle field only to realize that you have no bullets. Your statement on this FAILS!4) The major shareholders of FHL as stated on Tanya's FB page are Class A & Class B shareholders. I - Taukei trust fund and Fijian Affairs Board make up the Class B shareholders. None of the portfolios that ASK holds represent Class B shares. ASK is not the Govt of Fiji and neither is he the leader. It is Ratu Josaia Bainimarama that is the PM& ASK seems to think that he is the PM. ASK should know his place in this country & also in Govt. The PM is a no nonsense type of person & given his silence on this issue, ASK should be concerned. ASK made his entire Govt MPs in the absence of Ratu to vote against the removal of the World Rugby IRB 7s & RWC 2015 & knowingly misled & deceived his own colleagues. Given what I was told - they also want him out for using them. He made the people of Fiji curse & criticize the PM and Fiji First out of his own selfishness to save the financially ailing FBC which is headed by his brother. Your statement that ASK's Ministry of Information is technically the major shareholder of FHL FAILS yet again!

1- Tanya acted against the board when she went behind their back during the negotiations between the board and Ministry of Information. When she dishounered her professional contract she will always be liable. It was a straightforward decision. When she signed her contract she was agreeing that if she broke her promise to the board and company she would be disciplined. if the board wanted to keep her then they would have made it known.

2- Tanya went behind the board when she contacted World Rugby whilst the negotiations was still ongoing. Whether Gonelevu knew or not is not known but as her immediate supervisor he is responsible for her however unfair it may be to him.

3- She was accused of giving out the wrong advice without her superiors approval. And proving that is next to impossible. What she did wasn't illegal, however she went against her superiors. And that's where all her troubles comes to roost.

4- I never stated ASK ministry of information was a major shareholder. I just floated the idea of whether ASK ministry of information was really an outside interference, because Fiji TV is a media business and they're govern by the ministry of information which may mean that technically maybe indirectly ASK ministry of information isn't really classed as outsider therefore Tanya must first prove that they are infact an outsider per say before claiming outside interference.

Tanya broke her contractual obligation with Fiji TV therefore her superiors in these case the FH board had the legal right to discipline her based on the severity of her actions.

The board could have either gave her a final warning or sack her. Whatever the board decides will still be lawful.

Now as she is claiming outside interference. Her argument could be that the board was pushed to sack her rather then perhaps give her a final warning. If she wins her case she would have proven that there was indeed outside interference.

That still doesn't mean her dismissal was unlawful because the boards decision was still legal. However if she did win her case then she could ask the board for a second chance and if the board agrees or not is entirely up to them.

She'll probably still get a lump sum if she wins her case as for getting her job back that's entirely up to the board.

Long live Vili! Fearless crusader for truth, justice and the Fijian way. Vinaka vakalevu, Saka. These foul mouthed low lifes are not worthy to shine your shoes or pound your yagona. Keep up the good work and the fight against the return of the corrupt racists in SODELPA. And also your fight against the unrelenting negativity of scumbag layabouts sitting overseas and sniping at our efforts to build a better Fiji. We will win and they will eventually fade away. Because they have nothing to offer the Fijian people to take us forward. They have already been rejected at the September election and will be rejected again. And you will live to see your prophesies fulfilled. May Almighty God bless you and all those around you. A beacon of sanity and his truth.

1. What did Tanya do behind the backs of the board which broke her employment contractual agreement. You never explained what she did wrong.

2. When Tanya contacted the Rugby Board, do you know the purpose of her contacting them and the discussions that eventuated. You never explained that.

3. What wrong advice did she mete out for which she was not disciplined but fired.

4. You don't make any sense at all in your explanation here. Enlighten us please where and when a Government Body can get involved in a private enterprise and their negotiations and enforcing a decree like a sly fox to allow Fiji TV to have 7s coverage when the terms were quite clear. It is a typical Indian technique to abuse something. His lucky that World Rugby has not sued the Fiji Government. They probably realise that there is no money to be made.

Firstly thank you for providing your real name. That shows the strength of your convictions and character. I admire that.

Now to the points I made. Let me first clarify that these are my personal opinions based on researching the legal case between Tanya and SCC. As well as the ongoing saga between Tanya and Fiji TV/ASK.

I am in no way, shape or form justifying any individual or organisation. Just like everyone here these are my options.

When FH board and the Ministry of Information were negotiating a deal Tanya without the knowledge nor authority of the board contacted World Rugby asking them to hold coverage until FBC TV pays Fiji TV what she deemed to be what Fiji TV was owed.

Now she was right in a business sense to demand that because her priority was Fiji TV and its financial assets. I actually admire her ability to maximise profits because that's what we need in Fiji businesses that are prospering. In the long run it helps our economy.

She only did one mistake here and that was not letting the board her superiors know of her plan. I am disappointed in the fact that she allowed her emotions and ego to get the better of her because if she can control that she will be an inspiration to many of our young females who have the ability to make a difference.

The wrong advice bit was about her case with SCC. She advised clients/customers of SCC whom she was representing not to take a particular package or deal that reduced the profit SCC could have made. She gave those advice without the knowledge nor approval of her SCC superiors. She didn't do anything unlawful at all.

However just like what she did with Fiji TV she didn't let her SCC superiors know of her plans and both occasions her decision either directly or indirectly affected the business/company.

As for the government body getting involved in a private enterprise. I do believe they do anyway because they sort of implement policies that affects the private businesses and in these case the media decree. There just needs to be a better engagement between everyone concerned.

On another personal opinion I believe the media decree wouldn't have been forced if we were a democracy like we are now because we have an opposition now who will scrutinise the policy. However I still believe there would still be something similar if all parties including World Rugby agrees on a deal because the benefit is that everyone in Fiji gets to watch our Sevens boys do their thing on the world stage. Especially those in the outer islands and mountain regions.

ASK could probably have gone about it in a different way like engaging all parties to negotiate a deal where everyone is happy rather then forcing it on everyone's throat.

And to recap Vili, Tanya's words. Does it make at least a tiny spectrum of sense to you or its just too plain abstract to your thinking?????

"You cannot be the Minister of Communications and make decisions which are favourable to FBC knowing fully well that what you've done is unethical and unlawful to favour FBC which is headed by your brother. That's just not right, you should step down. Because the Attorney General has spoken about the need to be transparent, about good governance - this is the man who has been preaching about it and he can't even follow his own words. A very unethical person, shame on him for being a lawyer. The Fiji Law Society and the Legal Services Commission should actually take action on him and remove his practising certificate." Tanya Waqanika

I never admitted anything mate so don't twist my words. What I posted was my opinion. Saying ASK could have done the deal differently isn't assuming he is a liar, corrupt or cunning. Infact at least with ASK you see what you get, there's no two face or backstabbing.

Qarase was actually convicted of corruption proving he was a liar, corrupt and cunning yet most in here still believe he was a saint. And at the same time they're vilifying ASK based on no solid evidence.

When Pope Francis visits the Philippines next week, traffic enforcers won’t let the capital’s streets get gridlocked if they have to answer the call of nature.

About 2,000 traffic enforcers who will be on duty during the 15-19 January papal visit will be required to wear adult diapers, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman, Francis Tolentino, said.

Tolentino also encouraged people who will wait for hours to see the pope to also wear diapers.

The prospect of wearing diapers while on duty was “well received” by his men, he said on Wednesday.

They say Possession is not only when the devil plays hide and seek in your brain or poison your medula oblongata with negativity, but it is also when you are under the influence of the same specie as you!

I don't confess to know everything. Far from it mate. What I do though is do my research. I do not take allegations on the face of it. Whatever I say is based on my research and it is my opinion.

If you think I support what is wrong then that's only because you assume you're always right even when the facts disagrees with you.

If you tell me something I will research it and scrutinise it and if it's still solid then I will agree with you. The problem in here though is that whenever someone posts their opinion and I research it the reality and facts shows the complete opposite. So I challenge their opinions and what I get is instead of factual debate I get name calling, swear, racism, hatred etc etc.

It's that simple if you profess to speak the truth then back it up with solid facts through research. Anything less then you open yourself to disagreement and ignorance.

That Scarface term " I ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH EVENTHOUGH I AM LYING" swings both ways mate.

And mentioning kalounidraki, the voodoo shit. You simply showed how backward you are. What a simpleton. Keep drinking that grog and believing in your bati ni tanoa gossips.

When you try and force your opinion on me I will open your lie up to the point where you can't even backtrack and the only thing you will be able to post are swears, name calling, and pig shit. Your kalounidraki shit.

@ Vili.....hmmm so what we have here is an idiot who assumes things and has not undertaken a proper thorough research and understanding of what has transpired, but has made up his own opinion based on the BS the Government of the day has made, to cover their soiled arse.

Now Vili...Im sure you have some level of intelligence in you to think critically but you must also think laterally.

There is no point trying to justify an assumption based on your grog discussions and perhaps media and other means of information from which you are gathering your assumptions.

You bring up the SCC matter but that is irrelevant to this matter. There is no connection between the two to spell it out bluntly if you don't understand it.

Please don't waste your time or peoples time with your rhetorics because you don't make any sense at all and trying to justify actions by the AG and the Decree they implemented against a contract that is well stipulated is idiotic and reflective of a cunning manipulative person. Who or which Government in their right mind would implement a Decree that would undermine terms and conditions that has been enforced by an Agency. If every Government does the same thing, then we will remain an amateur body and wont be able to have our IRB Sevens. Think about it Vili, the AG screwed up here and the PM and all the legal eagles involved in drafting the decree that allowed Fiji TV access to the sevens rugby without having to adhere to the terms and conditions of the world rugby body. Well Im sure the PM is too bloody dumb to have understood the decree and just signed his dumb ass away believing that he was doing something for the benefit of the people without realising that his beloved AG had drawn him into something that has now bit him in the ass.

You are very unconvincing Vili and like AG and Frank, may have blinded the masses but there remains those who will continue to fight for the truth.

JD, I noticed you mentioned the government of the day and referred to their 'soiled arses'!

I was reading above re the Pope's visit to this country and all on duty are called to wear diapers.

I can only assume 2015 has opened a ton of sorry soiled arses for Fiji First Government - it might spare the embarrassment if Aiyaz, Frank and Co..resort to wearing diapers...well, to prevent any evidence of the people spotting their SOILED ARSES!! Hahahahaha

Josateki Daulako says to Vili...The problem with people in Fiji today is that Frank has instilled fear and suspicion during his 8 years of violent military dictatorial rule of the country. He has subjugated the people of Fiji to the point that people are afraid to question him. You have been duped into believing Frank and his side kick AG. They may have done some things for the people of Fiji that is commendable however, the audit report has clearly shown how he and the AG have abused their position and they continue to do so today. People are literally afraid of Frank and AG and unfortunately the Army lends their bullying had to these two thugs to keep the people silent. Now we are back to Democracy, things will slowly change and the truth will eventually prevail. History proves that and Frank and AG will eventually get their just uppence. Have you received yours yet Vili...

Vili...on another note, perhaps you can enlighten us on why Frank removed the Ratu Sukuna Day holiday. I am so astonished that Fiji's Military Council had allowed this to happen.

Ratu Sukuna if you don't know him was the first Fijian to have achieved a Degree from University. He studied in Havard when the war broke out and joined the French Foreign Legion and was the first Fijian to fight in a world war. He was wounded in action and returned to Fiji and brought with him the traditional sulu style, which later became the Military and Police formal dress style uniform.

He was tasked to form the Fijian Army that fought during the second world war and had virtually made the Fijian Army known and acknowledged due to his participation in the WWI and WWII.

Now the very Military Organisation that he helped form and today be recognised worldwide for its contribution, have deserted their mentor and founder and allowed Frank and his side kick AG to remove a public holiday of a statesman, an individual whom Itaukei in particular owes the utmost respect. Very sad indeed and shameful to the Fiji Army for allowing this to happen. Perhaps it has made our soldiers gutless which is why the surrendered at the first sound of gun fire on the Golan Heights...one wonders...

I replied to your comments properly without name calling and here you are only your second post and you're aleady calling me idiot. I see you have a blinkered agenda.

If you really think that the SCC matter is irrelevant then that shows your level of intelligence which is not much. You talk about thorough research but it appears you haven't done any research at all.

Let me break it down to you. The SCC matter is very relevant because Tanya's previous employee before Fiji TV was infact SCC and the offence was the same. A disregard of the chain of command.

It shows that what Tanya did wasn't an isolated matter where it could be claimed it was a moment of weakness due to her passion for the job. It was a repeat, where she committed the same offence between her current and previous employee.

As for the media decree, I stated already that perhaps it could have been handled better however governments everywhere change and update policies all the time and they don't have to tell overseas agencies about it. It's advisable to engage with overseas companies that would be affected because it's good business practice however the it's not a law to do so.

And on a reality note, the government had defied two bigger countries Australia and New Zealand's pressure to hold election for 8 years, do you really think it cares about some sporting agency.

As a Sovereign and democratic nation the government could have challenged World Rugby in the Irish court where it's based and Abitration for Sport international court. And that would have been bad PR for world rugby because it would show interference in the affairs of a sovereign state.

If the last eight years were tough waitfor the next twenty years. Very soon we see Sharia laws passed in parliament. Islam will be the main religion of Fiji and everyone will be converted to Islam. All government jobs will given to Muslims. Al Qadea/Taliban/Boroko Haram will or are operating in Fiji. There will be suicide bombing attacks. Fiji will become the 78th Islamic country. Oilei.

The last 8 years was the best. The only place you should be worried about sharia law is in your beautiful Aussie where you reside. Them ninjas are going to take their sharia spear and shiv it up your kalounidraki ass hehe.

Only kidding matey, hope you had a good new year bro. Nice seeing you back, place been dull without your colourful posts lol.

Did you notice that when challenged by KNR to show his evidence that Qarase is racist, Vili Rakoro could only cut and paste vague partisan attacks launched against Qarase by Chaudhry that are now 10 years old? But at the same time Vili demands proof of human rights allegations by the regime and doesn't accept the specific allegations formally laid out by the experts in the most recent reports by Amnesty International, the U.S. Department of State, and Human Rights Watch! Two very different evidenciary standards here -- low for himself, high for everyone else.

The earlier civil claim against Tanya has no relevance to the present case, all the more she was acquitted.

Outside interference in this matter would be any interference from a source outside the corporate board of directors. It sounds to me as if the two board directors breached their fiduciary trust to shareholders whilst acting under duress from the attorney general.

Vili Rakoro, "fearless crusader for truth", going back to an earlier comment, which of these human rights violations still needs to be proven? That Bainimarama committed treason by overthrowing its duly elected government in 2006? That he dismissed our entire judiciary and replaced it with handpicked judges? That he postponed our elections? That he suppressed our civil liberties? That he rubbished the GCC and our constitution? Which of these human rights allegations do you consider unproven?

Also, if you think the regime has not engendered fear and suspicion during its sad tenure, then I think that YOU'RE the one who needs to visit Fiji.

The Minister for Communications is a heavyweight in Fiji, but internationally he's a junior bantam. He can push people around here in Fiji, even the PM, but who is he to tell World Rugby what to do? All to make his brother more money!

And now he's desperately seeking for scapegoats so that he can dodge the blame for yet another of his screw-ups.

Bottom line: DON'T F*** WITH MY RUGBY!

FFP can go to hell until this gets resolved! This sh*t has got to end!

All of those so called human rights experts were quiet on the U.S. Iraq invasion, Syria interventions, Quantanamo bay, CIA torture and Fiji 2000 coup.

As for their Fiji reports they didn't even carry out any investigation.

Qarase in his tenure didn't investigate the 2000 coup human rights violation on Fiji Indians. And he was convicted of corruption so that is a sure sign of human rights violation and that was about 9 years ago. Yet you tried to dismiss my Fiji archives links about Chaudhry calling out Qarases racist leadership like dismissing the 2000 coup investigation. Saying that was 10 years ago.

Also SODELPA supporters in here frequently bring up issues about 8 years ago. Don't be a hypocrite.

Muslims want to kill and destroy where ever they are. They have killed our great Council of Chiefs. They have killed our culture,religion and customs. They have taken the lands from us.They have taken the parliamentary power away from us. They have taken away Fijian scholarship scheme and replaced with TOPPAS where 80% recipients are Muslims. ASK's Masters Thesis was based on destroying the Fijian race. We are gone. Lots of Muslims are joining the army. All good jobs are given to the Muslims. Very soon they will impose SHARIA laws in Fiji. In UK Muslim man groom white girls for their desires. They convert them to islam and than they leave them.

Vili...wow you really must be a case of stupidity and ignorance. Are you the star actor from Fiji in the Dumb or dumber II or are you co starring with Frank and Khaiyum.

The wrong advice bit was about her case with SCC. She advised clients/customers of SCC whom she was representing not to take a particular package or deal that reduced the profit SCC could have made. She gave those advice without the knowledge nor approval of her SCC superiors. She didn't do anything unlawful at all.

You made the above statement and ended it with ' She did not do anything unlawful at all.

I shake my head and laugh...You really are shoving your head up Frank and Khaiyum's arse with your stupidity.

Now like I said, you don't make sense and you surely don't know what the hell you are talking about.

You think that writing on this blog supporting your beloved Frank and your believed Tavale Khaiyum will win you brownie points from them. Well it may have and good for you if you ASSUME everything is the way you see it.

Have you tried looking through a bottle mouth with the other end shoved up your arse. Should try it. What you will find is exactly what your talking about here. Interesting shit.

By the way, you don't know yet but I am typing away nooot too farrr from you....Do you know what a Dodo bird is?

Hey you have not responded to my query about why your beloved PM Frank and his side kick Khaiyum removed the holiday of our statesmen...Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna...the Founder of the Military Organisation in Fiji.

Want a banana Vili...Got two...I know you like to eat it with skin....Josateki Daulako

Vili...once again you have put your foot in your arse and mouth......aren't you ashamed of the stink your creating around yourself with your sheer dumb stupidity....damn unbelievable....What I am referring too....your last post @ 3:04pm....Qarase had commenced the investigation into the 2000 coup and guess what...yep your beloved Frank was implicated and guess what happened after Qarase commenced these investigations...

Now are you looking through that bottle yet...perhaps a fart into the bottle will help your senses.

C'mon Vili...cut the childish responses...you not paid to do that...your paid to make your master Frank and Khaiyum look good....try to make some sense in what your trying to say here...please we beg you...we need to have an intelligent conversation about this whole issue because you really have your wires crossed today...Have another go to see what happens...By the way...you can finish your banana first...don't speak with your mouth full...

Vili, Qarase's conviction was on trumped up charges by a kangaroo court — itself a human rights violation. But putting that aside, how is Qarase's conviction on unrelated charges a "sure sign" of human rights violations during his tenure? Also, if he was guilty of any human rights violations, then why didn't the regime prosecute him for those?

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch were not silent about Guantanamo, Iraq, Fiji's 2000 coup, etc. That's just another false accusation. The U.S. State Department doesn't include its own country in its reporting, as that is outside its constitutional writ and jurisdiction.

The fact you didn't understand that post says it all bro. Back in the real world everyone knows it's possible to disobey your boss and still be acting lawful. Problem is no one wants to piss off our boss. Tanya did that and she's now crying in the media about it.

As for the Ratu Sukuna holiday, why you asking me. Go and ask PM he's even got a direct line. Or are you afraid he might shuv that banana up your ass skin and all lol.

Hahaha it's all coming back the accusation about Frank. Did you know in the 2002 election after Qarase won he refused to choose some of labours MP in his government cabinet eventhough he was constitutionally obligated to. Instead he chose his friends, Chiefs and Politicians most of whom supported and instigated the 2000 coup.

And when Frank pushed for their investigation all of a sudden they investigated him and tried to sack him.

Vili, I thought you said the human rights experts were all quiet on the 2000 coup!

The U.S. Department of State Human Rights Report, dated 26 February 2001, begins as follows:

Until May 19, the country was governed by a democratically elected Government; however, on that date, following a protest march against Indo-Fijian Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry's Government, armed indigenous Fijian supremacists led by George Speight, with the support of a number of rebel soldiers and hundreds of civilians, seized Parliament and took Chaudhry hostage along with several Members of Parliament. On May 29, President Ratu Mara was ousted in a nonviolent coup led by the military forces. Military commander Frank Bainimarama appointed himself Head of State, attempted to abrogate the Constitution, declared martial law, and began to rule by decree. After the May 19 takeover of Parliament, violent incidents occurred in many parts of the country. Roads were barricaded, public and private property was seized by rebel sympathizers, troops on Vanua Levu mutinied, Indo-Fijian settlements were terrorized by Ethnic Fijians, and Indo-Fijian businesses were looted and burned. In July a military-backed civilian interim administration was installed after lengthy negotiations between the military regime and the rebels, and a meeting of the ethnic Fijian Great Council of Chiefs. In late July, the military-backed civilian interim administration arrested the rebel leadership, charged the leaders with treason, and began to assert control over the country. A Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) was endorsed by the Great Council of Chiefs in September and was asked to draft a new constitution. However, the CRC suspended its work in December following a High Court ruling that the CRC had no legal standing. In November the High Court ruled that the 1997 Constitution remained in force. The interim administration appealed this decision and requested a stay of the High Court's ruling. The Court of Appeal denied the request. The full Court of Appeal is scheduled to hear the appeal in February 2001.

So the US state department can't investigate it's own countries human rights violations eventhough it's the best equipped to do so. Yet it should be trusted on its report about other countries. Nice touch there. So eventhough none of these experts set foot in Fiji to investigate human rights violations they should still be believed.

That report was useless. Everything that happened on that report is well known in Fiji.

Get me a report about the actual investigation that prosecuted those who instigated and carried out the human rights violation in the 2000 coup. Frank was pushing for those until 2006 when Qarase tried to shut him up by attempting to sack him or give him a diplomatic post.

Whaat, Vili? You now maintain that George Speight was convicted for the events in 2000 without an investigation ever having been conducted or a report ever having been filed? Shouldn't he be released then?

Btw, the Wikipedia references were already provided you a few days ago, and you already dismissed them.

Now, you were about to answer the questions put to you (a third time) back at 3:20 PM. How about it?

Wow Vili Vili Vili...you sure as hell are disillusioned. I should not have told you to look into the bottle mouth with the end shoved up your ass because as you carry on now, your talking more shit and I don't blame you because that is all you will see looking up through a bottle shoved up your ass.

On which planet are you residing. Boy oh Boy...You know an Englishman once said to me which I must say offended me than but now I see the wisdom in his words....He said that they the English had civilised our country when we were barbaric and living like savages. He went further to say that when they allowed us to gain our independence, it was like watching the movie planet of the apes where all these apes. Like I said I was offended back than but now I can understand what he meant. Your Fiji today, governed by Frank is like the movie planet of the apes. All these monkeys governing and doing as they please resulting in people like you following suit. Monkey See Monkey Do...know that saying.....literally you Vili are like a monkey...doing exactly what you see your Government do and believing in it too. Three cheers for Vili everyone...Do you know what happens when you build your house upon the sand Vili.....Good boy

If you've been following my posts on these blog site then you would know I may joke here and there but the one consistent thing I do is research about everything in details.

its the detailed research that led me to uncover a certain Australian Mark Textor whom Qarase hired as his election campaign consultant. And guess who recommended him to Qarase, yep the good old Aussie government.

And Textor himself in an interview with ABC in 2012 admitted that racial differences and the Methodist church was part of his strategy specifically using the preach/talatala and Chiefs to his advantage. and the Aussie government knew about that.

You know all those international human rights organisations experts you shouting about. They all have offices in Aussie and guess who they select to investigate and report about Fijis human rights violations after the 2000 coup till 2006, yep some good old Aussie aussie aussie.

I told you they were silent because I actually research about them as well and know exactly why they were silent.

Vili, you try to speak authoritatively about matters in one breath but in the next you show an appalling ignorance of them, as with the U.S. Department of State.

A human rights commission appointed by a dictator is not to be trusted advising on human rights allegations against that dictator. Surely even you can understand that, can't you?

Having Shaista Shameem heading a human rights commission has been likened as akin to putting Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum in charge of elections. Do you understand the simile? Sort of like putting the hamburglar in charge of all catsup.

Josateki Daulako says ..... you actually researched something Vili...well done..now can you put your footnotes in your blog so we know where your getting your material...and stop biting your toes...Now Vili is doing some research and not assuming it makes me wonder has the ape morphed....Oh Vili do you know what that means to morphed...its a short term...

KUA NI RERE the racist bastard. What have muslims done to do. Have they stolen your wife, or mother or sisters or they have a vudi put inside you. Why cant you accept Fiji is a multiracial country. You will burn in the hell for racism and violence against Indians.

Vili, if the human rights people were silent, then why are we now able to adduce their comments?

If you did the research, then you've read some of their comments. So why did you lie, saying they were silent? Or was that just another one of your jokes? Tee-hee.

So, now you're saying that the U.S. Department of State, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch — just to name a few of the human rights folks watching Fiji — all used Australian Mark Textor to do their research!?

Vili wants to play a game...shall I toss the stick and you can fetch it for me Vili...

I thought Vili that you had morphed and are starting to research matters and not searching for links to support your assumptions. Does not work that way Vili..You research, back it up with footnotes etc... if you look for links, you might find you are descendant from a missing link....ohhhh....that's probably it...I better research that...Do you want me to research your missing link Vili...Ok....now why don't you put up some research on why you don't believe Qarase investigated Frank...

Monkeys, jokes ... Vili reminds me of the monkey and the cork joke. You remember the one, where some zookeepers plug a cork up an elephant's ass, and after a couple of weeks, when the elephant looks like it's ready to explode, they train a monkey to pull out the cork? The zookeepers all get covered in shit, especially the one nearest to the elephant. And yet he's the one who can't stop laughing. Asked why, he replies: "You shoulda seen the monkey trying to shove the cork back in!"

This regime, of course, is the elephant full of shit. Vili Rakoro is the trained monkey last seen furiously pushing a smelly cork.

All those human rights organisations have offices in Aussie and they select Australians to report about Fiji. For the past 8 years I am sure you can see how the Aussie media, from mainstream, regional, personal etc have reported about Fiji.

Now compare that to after the 2000 coup, and then research how these Australians representing international human rights organisations do their investigation, look at the source of their reports, research their contacts etc.

Trust me when I say it if you really do a detailed research you'll be surprised and you will understand my position.

Yes Bainimarama and ASK maybe bad but when you research in detail about these western countries and how clever they are with bending and caliberating their pieces of materials to formulate their reports and swing public opinions you'll be surprised.

Once you start trust me you'll branch out to whatever interests you. Mine was power, East and west. I touched a bit on capitalism too. Apartheid, Hitler, Saudi Arabia and Japan specifically Hiroshima, and Vietnam war too.

Vili Boci, Vili Sona, Vili Magaitinamu plus your many other names, you are a joke. You don't get it do you, people are making fun of you asshole. But then again, what else can we expect from a son of a bitch? hahahahahaha

Lol at Vili...oh Vili you poor poor dillusioned illiterate fellow...whatever your morphing into we better reprogram that mind...research on topics you say....lol....that's far of the mark Vili and can cause a mere minded individual like you with limited grey matter to assume many things. ...I get it now...are you trying to pretend to be an academic Vili..to understand what you read and interprete it according to your own assumptions....wow...Im impressed with the morph...at least its working...Eventually you will find it if you keep researching Vili....I should not stop you from researching and in fact it will open your arse....my apologies...your eyes....I like that Laughing Samoan saying....look into my eyes....try again Vili....reference guides are not open topics Vili....whats the Lauan saying..Ko vuli ga ko tawa sukulu....I like that...

I see you're just another empty vessel making useless noise. Well come on give us the link to your so called truth about why Qarase investigated Frank. If that's too difficult for your pea size brain why don't you just quote it.

I have never stated to be academic, smart, better etc. my style is simple, read what people post in here then research about it using whatever materials and source I can get hold of.

Using the internet, library, archives etc. what amazes me is that those in here who profess, assume or pretend to speak the truth always turn out to be full of shit.

You know how I know they're full of shit. It's simple, when they resort to petty name calling and pathetic trolling that's when I know oops there goes their argument and here comes the default debate points which are usually just so consistent, the name calling, the swear, the accusations about me being someone else lol.

Never cease to amaze me. I actually enjoy watching them dissent so low after usually a promising start.

Obviously it doesn't affect me nor bother me at all, infact us Fiji First supporters laughs about it. They always tell me I am too horrible because I rub it in to you lot about the facts you're in the minority and part of a loosing side.

And you know what I tell them, in here I am a celebrity, everyone knows my name and wants a piece of me. You're all lol ke my subject, I point and you lot bark.

Lol at Vili...its so funny when a person like you thinks that you are so important and have caused an impact against others........lol...you are as the saying goes...IMMATERIAL...now look that up...no one has taken you seriously on this site Vili..you are actually an object of our amusement and a source of distress. Where in heavens earth did you think anyone ever took you seriously at all...lol...Now perhaps if you point at your arse...Frank and Khaiyum may drool...your style of writing --sorry to tell you but you have none...you are a typical Fijian who gathers his information from his grog discussions...we see it every day...wanna be clever and important lol...now stick to the subject young man and don't morph too quickly from your ape like stage...we will help you progress...now can you cut paste your research...hold on...your not gathering your research from the children's library are you...c'mon Vili that's not fair at all...Read Chicken Little...Good moral of a story there...that's what we need in Fiji today..Good morals..

Hey Vili, remember Kua Ni Rere?? Well.. some time ago you had incriminated that Qarase had made racist policies??? Remember?? KNR wanted you to RESPOND and name one of them. Did you ever???? After that I noticed you had morphed into oblivion and we never heard from you again!!

Well, Im digging this case up again because like a true funny monkey I see you chewing on banana peels and playing hoity toity with JD!!

Why not answer KNR's question first eh? We're all waiting for that answer ...Name a policy of Qarase's which you had implicated was racist??

@ Anon 5:42pm...where would you like Vili to start...ok just a small one...Qarase's Social Justice Bill...29 programmes - 17 for all communities 10 for indigenous Fijians and 2 for Indians and other minority groups...that's Racist you dork

Wrong! She is a CEO of the Fiji Sports Council because her father is the illegal treasonous coup dictator who forced a democratic nation to its knees while he stomped on all who dared to go against him. And, you forget, his family and closest friends have gained positions in high places they did not rightly deserve via merit nor qualifications.

And most importantly, say a negative word about them 'according to their books' and you're fired!!!!

I am not a racist but I have a disliking for Indians and Muslims. Because of them our beautiful country is destroyed. We had to endure four coups because of them. They are the most hated race in NZ, Australia, Canada, UK and USA. It is time to deport them back to India and Pakistan.

Isa brother! I humbly request you to please embrace the gracious love of the Lord Jesus Christ and as an indigenous Fijian of our beloved Fiji to LOVE our fellow Indo-Fijians...they're were not sent here by chances but by the gracious love of the Lord Jesus Christ the son of the Living God Jehovah....kerea ga meda veilomani vakalevu ena gauna bolebole oqo....era na qai galu mai baleta na Kalou sa raica tiko na veika kece.....God is watching over us and everyone will be answerable to Him....Glory be to the Lord Jesus Christ....the TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL IN THE END....GOD BLESS FIJI!

The problem with those who have been ruling outside of any legal framework for too long when they jump again into a pseudo de democratic environment is that they tend to forget what they are not supposed to do...

Unfortunately, Fiji is a hard democracy and in a hard democracy, the judiciary is dependant on the government... It is often a "small country" problem.

Vili thinks he's now a celebrity. Well, if becoming the new "Baghdad Bob" of Fiji is his idea of celebrity, then fair enough. He can call it celebrity; the rest of us call it notoriety.

Vili no doubt admires his stool every time he defecates, which, given the quality of his submissions here, cannot be often enough.

I tell you I'm not impressed with the quality of his writing. The man is barely literate. But then, English is a foreign language, and he is certainly not alone on that point.

Worst of all are his self-proclaimed research skills. We've already seen how he couldn't find references by human rights organisations to the 2000 coup, although these are legion. He couldn't find the Wikipedia entry about human rights in Fiji, although these can immediately be obtained by using any browser and typing "Wikipedia" followed by "Human Rights in Fiji". His research still hasn't yielded any evidence of human rights abuses by the regime. Apparently it overtaxes his research skills to answer the questions put to him at 3:20 PM and elsewhere. Since the answers are so glaringly obvious, I can only infer that his inability to answer is due to his difficulty in finding "research" that would support his desire to explain these away.

If Vili finds himself a celebrity amongst his FFP friends, it's only because scum tends to accumulate at his lower end of the pond, whilst the rest of us feed at the top.

Vili is actually Litiana Loabuka, the fat, ugly Bainimarama daughter who is a thin-skinned bully, just Iike her father? That would explain his stupidity and his passion in defending the regime. It would explain his mixed feelings towards ASK regarding his mishandling of the Rugby Sevens. It would explain his arrogance and superiority complex. And it would explain his pussy.

What's embarrassing is the superficiality of the regime apologists' criticisms of the sacked TV execs and the depths the apologists will go in order to try to discredit anyone who criticises the regime.

It is 2015 and these lot have not changed one iota. You have Josateki Daulako repeating a topic that's been consistently debated on this blog. His post about Qarase investigating Frank.

It seems they think by bringing it up again after a while people would have forgotten about it. The beef between Qarase and Frank was public knowledge. The 9 points policy that Frank insisted Qarase not to change for example the Qoliqoli bill and Qarase's attempt to overrule the military council and not renew Franks contract or in other words sacking him.

And when questioned about his allegations Mr Daulako posted a whole multi posts of the usual side stepping the points raised and directing his comments to the person instead.

Haha it is rather sad that this lot seems to think that somehow posting laughable petty insults makes them somehow take the high ground.

I mean no wonder the Fiji First supporters who are basically the majority of Fijian laughs at this racist minority black sheeps. I mean whilst debating I bring in research materials and rather then trying to scrutinise my argument with their own material they post about my research source or style and calling it all sorts of whatever name they can think of.

I mean seriously for the love of God challenge my facts, scrutinise it using your own source and materials. It is simply too easy to belittle your lots opinions and turn your argument upside down. And then further reduce you to nothing more then a bunch of pathetic idiots who thinks posting foul language and name calling is a sign of you winning.

You win when you challenge my points not when you swear, curse or laugh at me. Come on people show some debate spirit.

First I was accused to be a Fiji Indian from Muaniweni.Then I was accused to be from Naselai in Tailevu.And I was accused to be a group of people all posting in my name.Accused to be a paid government blogger.Accused to be posting from Alaska, this was hilarious I mean a Fijian in Alaska. And then I was accused to be Bainimarama's son Meli.Now the latest I am Bainimarama's daughter Litiana.

Vili, when someone posts provocative statements 20 times a day on your favourite blogsite, it's not to be wondered at if people conjecture regarding your true identity and motives. It's not in the vein of "who was that masked man" in most cases, more like "who is that bloomin' idiot".

You've been challenged at least four times now to clarify your "facts", as per the comment at 3:20 PM, 9 January. All that is required are yes or no answers, although you are of course free to elaborate. Repeat: elaborate. That does not give you licence to exaggerate or prevaricate.

You keep pleading your willingness to debate. Why then don't you debate and stop sidestepping?

"Do right though the heavens may fall" is an ancient Latin axiom. And a good one.

Impersonating KNR for the purpose of posting racist garbage that seems to vindicate their lies is a very low thing to do, but leave it to FFP sapotas to plumb the depths. They claim to be anti-racist, but all the while they deliberately stoke the fires of racial animosity.

UPDATEDHostage-taker dead after special forces storm Paris grocery4 hostages dead, 15 rescuedFrench president calls it "an anti-Semitic attack"Gunman claimed allegiance to ISIS in phone conversation with TV stationThe second hostage-taking in France today — which French President François Hollande called an anti-Semitic attack — ended with the deaths of four hostages and the gunman.

Explosions and gunshots were heard outside the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket, in the Porte de Vincennes neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Paris, almost simultaneously with a raid counterterrorism police launched at a printing factory north of the city, where two suspects in Wednesday's deadly shooting at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris were holed up with a hostage.

The suspects, brothers named Cherif and Said Kouachi, were killed in that standoff.

The policy of this dictatorship with Khayium as the mastermind is the removal of all rights of the taukei to their customary institutions, their land and all that hold them distinctly as an ethnic group with its identity. It is called mainstreaming & it is boldly expressed in the peoples charter and Fijis report to the UN.Despite the UN disagreement the Dictatorship has passed many laws and continue to do so in its mainstreaming exercise. They include :1. The Fijian affairs GCC regulation of 2007 to suspend the GCC. 2. The GCC amendment decree of 2008 to terminate GCC nominees to the Fijian Affair Board to be replaced by govt appointees. 3. The Fijian Affair ( Provincial Councils ) amendment regulation of 2008 to terminate attendance at Provincial Councils of educated urban I taukei. 4. The Fijian Trust Fund ( amendment ) Decree No 2 of 2009 that terminated the GCC as appointing authority for the Fijian Trust Board & replacement by government. 5. The Native Land Trust (amendment ) decree No 31 of 2009 to terminate the appointing authority of the GCC to the Native Land Trust Board and its replacement by government alone .6.The Native Land Trust (amendment ) Regulation of 2010 that terminated the share of royalty income for the chiefs. 7.

Dear posters who love justice and the restoration of true democracy in Fiji.

I have watched this blog and how "Vili Rakoro" energetically and consistently posts on: 1.any accusation against Muslim takeover of Fiji; 2.attacking Tanya on one point (insubordination) and 3. responds to ALL posts against Frank and ASK.

I read but never post on this blog. It is amazing how much of a picture you gain just by watching! A lot of intelligence work is that - boring day in day out information collation. The result is priceless!

One thing is certain - Tanya's outburst has rattled ASK!!! Hence the effort by "Vili Rakoro" on this blog to undermine Tanya on one single point. That is the they will use in court if Tanya/Tevits ever make it there.

For posters responding to Vili Rakoro, his name is not real as he claims. I sense your frustrations in trying to hold a dishonest person to account. Ask him to post his picture so you know who he really is!

I know ASK uses junior researchers to work for him; he is known workaholic as confirmed Graham Davies!

So Vili is not one person but a team led by ASK himself supported by a team including one from Naitasiri; he does this because he needs to put down any emerging public opinion that casts any aspersions on ASK and his Agenda. This is the way of dictatorship!

Blogs are meant for real responsible exchange with responsible people - so why don't you ask Vili Rakoro to post his real picture so you can all research if he is a real person!!!

Someone may say to you, "Let's ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do." But shouldn't people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?

28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved;for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said,even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

No telling yet if the maniacs who massacred the people at Charlie Hebdo were trained by the RFMF's new buddies in Al Nusra. Or if some of the weapons they used to slaughter these poor people were the same as those cravenly surrendered by the RFMF in the Golan Heights.

Something like the Charlie Hebdo massacre could never happen in the New Fiji, because this regime would never allow a satirical publication like Charlie Hebdo to exist in the first place. Its first satire of the regime would be its last. This regime has repeatedly proven itself an enemy of press freedoms. The values of this regime are more aligned with those of the murderers than with those of the victims.

According to reports from Paris, the al Qaeda raid marks a radical departure in the terror group's methods.

Typically, one associates al Qaeda with suicide missions. Obviously, this was no such thing. Instead, today's attack was extremely well-rehearsed and professional in nature. This team of al Qaeda killers have obviously played on the same line for some time, if I may indulge a sports analogy.

This was the unveiling of an entirely new al Qaeda strategy. What does this portend for terror ops of the future? Has the day of the lone fanatic with a suicide vest passed into history?

Was this the work of European ISIS sympathizers who have been professionally trained and battle-hardened in the streets of Aleppo? If so, how many such teams are on the loose in the capitals of Europe?

With France taking measures decisively sympathetic to Islam, why would Muslim zealots suddenly choose THIS MOMENT to murder a dozen French citizens, an act that would certainly turn French public opinion against Muslims and in favor of Israel?

Who benefits?

It seems like they’re spinning out PSYOPS these days faster than the writers of plots for a daily soap opera. Ottawa and Sydney are already old news.

The three latest headlines have probably been: the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France, the downed AirAsia plane, and “North Korea hacks Sony.”

While no conclusive explanations have yet been reached, these three seemingly distinct events all have something in common: running afoul of Israel.

On December 2nd, the France Parliament passed a resolution asking that France recognize a Palestinian state. And just a week ago, Israel informed France that it was “deeply disappointed” with France’s vote on a UN resolution that would have required Israeli forces to withdraw to their pre-1967 borders by 2017.

Teaching everyone to identify as JewsTeaching everyone to identify as JewsWith France taking measures decisively sympathetic to Islam, why would Muslim zealots suddenly choose THIS MOMENT to murder a dozen French citizens, an act that would turn French public opinion against Muslims and in favor of Israel? We are told the motive for the atrocity was publication of cartoons satirizing Islam and Muhammad. What Muslim would consider cartoons more important than Palestinian rights, which Muslims have spent decades earnestly striving and bleeding for?

Clearly, the beneficiary of the Charlie Hebdo incident is neither France nor Islam, but Israel.

They had to have procured those weapons from somewhere and someone must have kept it as their Quartermaster.

4 persons participated in the series of attacks suggesting that this was a Cell.

That means they had a command structure to which they are answerable. There must be a handler (who is probably still living in France or in one of the nearby countries) who gave them the targets.

This is also a reflection on the open borders policy they have over there in Europe. Those weapons could have been procured from any of the other countries bordering France, eg Italy or further towards Eastern Europe where the Mafia networks are very solid and simply driven into France (no border checks - porous borders) in the prepping for the attack.

This cell would have been trained somewhere. The video's show clearly that they were very comfortable with their weapons handling. It was reflexive to them. Instinct. Theywere obviously very well taught.

The shooting of the Policeman shows one of them on the run whilst shooting the downed Policeman to confirm the kill. That's an AK 47 he was handling from the hip as he ran past the Policeman firing that burst. Only someone who is very very well trained with weapons does that, and only someone who has engaged in similar operations before reflexively does that to a downed target. Handling an AK 47 with one hand from the hip pistol style and firing a shot burst accurately isn't an easy thing for a novice. The weapon jumps and the AK 47 is a weapon which has a solid kick and jump.

All those tactical skills the Yanks and Brits have been teaching in the Middle East since Afghanistan against the Russians are now being used on Western city streets against Western targets.

The only give away about which brother did the final kill on the Policeman is the way the second man moved from the base fire support position he was at.

Probably the brother who had fought in Iraq is the one who flanked and then punched the Policeman's position, killing the Policeman.

The brother who had not been to Iraq showed his lack of experience because he left his fire support position and moved to see what his other brother was doing to the Policeman.

That is a tactical error.

Tactically the fire support man in that position is to take a knee position and stay in that fire support role because you are also the backup man in case there is contact from left or behind you on that street. You take a knee so that you minimise your profile but at the same time you have all around views in fire support so that if contact comes from your left or behind you you can switch your fire that way and the man who flanked can then move into support and then you punch your way out.

He made the mistake of leaving his fire support position and moving to where his brother was finishing off the Policeman. Probably caught up in the excitement and andrelin.

The experienced brother looks like the IC of their cell. He was giving the commands. He gave the command for regroup with his left hand signal as he moved back towards the car.

His brother should have retained that for support position all throughout and waited for that regroup signal to withdraw to their Rally Point, which is the car, but he probably shows his inexperience with all that moving about to see things.
